Manchester United have parted ways with manager Ruben Amorim, bringing an end to the Portuguese coach’s turbulent spell at Old Trafford.
The decision comes shortly after United’s 1–1 draw with Leeds United on Sunday, a match that was followed by a tense post-match press conference in which Amorim openly criticised the club’s hierarchy, urging them to “do their jobs.”
Fallout From Press Conference
Amorim’s remarks reportedly did not sit well with senior figures at the club, accelerating internal discussions about his future. Sources close to the club indicate that the comments were viewed as a breach of internal protocol and a sign of growing tension between the manager and the board.
A Mixed 14-Month Spell at Old Trafford
The 40-year-old departs after 14 months in charge, a period marked by inconsistency, tactical changes, and fluctuating results.
Despite moments of promise, Manchester United have struggled to find sustained form and currently sit sixth in the Premier League after 20 matches, falling short of expectations set at the start of the campaign.
What Next for United?
With Amorim now gone, attention turns to who will take charge on an interim basis and whether the club will move quickly to appoint a permanent replacement as the season progresses.
Manchester United are yet to release an official statement outlining the next steps, but further developments are expected imminently.
More details to follow.
